Omar T in San Diego

Omar and his family travel to a different location for each of these culinary adventures. The travel fiction aspect is enhanced with descriptions of actual sites, restaurants, bookstores, galleries and shops-including sketches, favorite lists and recipes. Diversity in race, religion, culture, language and sexual orientation not only exists within Omar’s family, it is celebrated in these tales. I call this story telling ＂Mystery Lite＂ because it is not centered on murder and violence. The mystery is based on an intriguing aspect of a place’s actual history. Rather than relying on the perverse, these stories are meant to appeal to the enlightened-someone who prefers stories that revolve around the resolve of the human spirit and the creative arts that such a spirit inspire. Each Omar T book is independent, you do not need to read them in the order of their publication, though there are some references for those who do. Omar’s San Diego and Tijuana adventures are fed by the insights of Dr. Seuss, the regions craft beer and its food culture as well as the unique history of these two border cities.

Deamer was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. He lived in Switzerland and the Washington D.C. area before settling in Monterey County California in the early 1980’s. He currently resides in the birth city of John Steinbeck, Salinas California. Pajaro Street Grill, founded in 1999, Deamer’s dinner only Salinas restaurant, continues to prosper. It is also the birthplace and home of Mr. Omar T Black. For over a decade, San Diego and Tijuana have become the author’s second home. ＂My relationship with these two cities began as a writer’s getaway. They have now become my home away from home.＂ ＂I have fallen so hopelessly in love with the art of writing that I consider my laptop my mistress. I have even named her, Zoe. The last seven years I have found myself in a zone every artist dreams to discover. A place where the connection to art is so profound that the ups and downs of life, rather than being a harmful distraction, only add a rich depth to my work. By the end of 2016, I expect to have ten completed works of fiction, including more Omar T books. This includes 4 very different novels that I’m considering publishing under a pseudonym. I hope you will join me along this incredible journey of discovery and romance with the human spirit.＂
